Boston Freedom Trail

The Freedom Trail is one of the main tourist attractions of Boston - marked out through the city centre with red brick, starting at the Boston Common and ending at the Bunker Hill Monument. Following the trail gave us a good overview of the city, both old and new, as it passed along sites such as the Old State House and the King's Chapel.


This fellow is Colonel William Prescott, a hero in the Revolutionary War who commanded the rebels in the battle of Bunker Hill. He famously coined the phrase "Don't fire 'til you see the whites of their eyes".
